Fic Rec: we move lightly

Title: we move lightly
Author: augustbird
Pairing: John/Sherlock
Length: 2236
Rating: R
Warnings: N/A
Verse: BBC
Author's summary: For those willing to go through hell to save a loved one's soul. Post-Reichenbach.

Reccer's comments: This fic isn't posted on AO3, but I think it may be one of augustbird's best.  It's tragic and despairing and perfectly brutal, and it dogged me for months after I read it.  It takes a Dylan Thomas poem, Dante's Inferno, and Sherlock and John's willingness to do anything for each other, and makes something utterly wrenching and unforgettable.
